C238 The gap between ideas and reality

Shi Haowen led these elite soldiers, whom he had personally picked, and sprinted towards the small village in the middle of the col.

In their eyes, this kind of place, this scale of the village, the mountain country bums were simply like lambs waiting for them to slaughter. They could all imagine how desperate and helpless those ignorant and foolish mountain dwellers would be the moment they saw their butcher knives falling.

That extremely terrified gaze, that trembling body, and the scene of blood splattering all over. When all of these were mixed together, it would cause the blood of those cruel beasts to boil even more.

These Qilin beasts could no longer suppress the joy in their hearts. They felt that the Goddess of Luck was waving at them. In just a few minutes, not even a minute, not even a few dozen seconds, they would be able to charge into the village and happily do what a Qilin beast should do.

After a few days of trekking, being constantly harassed by a group of people from who knows where, and that shameless' I can't fight back, I don't know how to kill 'attack, these feelings of grievance were constantly being accumulated and suppressed, settling down in their hearts. They wanted to vent the frustration deep inside their hearts, and it was already not just a day or two anymore.

They even imagined using such cruel methods to torture and kill a person countless times. Even if that person was an innocent person, they needed this abnormal release of emotions right now.

"Brothers, remember, don't leave a single one alive. Kill them!" Shi Haowen roared out, like a devil entering a village, if he was holding a Japanese Shaman Spear in his hand and wearing a melon skin hat, saying 'Let's quietly enter the village and don't let anyone with guns', it would be very fitting of this situation.

They were getting closer and closer to the entrance of the village. They could even smell the fragrance of the food clearly. Some of them even had stomachs that were growling. Just when they were considering whether they should eat their fill before killing someone, or kill someone before eating, a sudden change occurred ?

He saw a child at the village entrance. He was young and short, wearing a short-sleeved shirt with cut sleeves. His pants were dirty linen, just above the knees and below the ankles. His feet were even wearing tattered grass shoes.

They all subconsciously stopped their steps, carefully examining the child. But before they could figure out what was going on, they saw the child turn his head and run, even shouting loudly as he ran, but the content of his shout caused Shi Haowen and the others to deeply collapse.

Because they clearly heard the child shouting, "Not good, idiot, it's here, idiot, it's here again!" "Not good ?" Following that, the sound of gongs and drums could be heard everywhere in the village.

"He said we were idiots?" A guard asked.

"Are you stupid? Don't you have long ears? Is there anyone else here? " Another guard at the side shouted in anger.

"Lord Envoy, we've been discovered?" A guard took two steps forward and said to Shi Haowen.

"Humph, they are just a bunch of commoners. Don't tell me that you all are afraid of these commoners?" So what if they knew? Kill them? Is there a need for us to sneak around? " Shi Haowen said snappily to the guards beside him.

"The lord's words are reasonable!" The group of guards echoed the order.

"Fine, I have them all. Let's kill our way in. Men, old people, and children will all be killed. Women, all of you stay behind. Please don't kill them all for me, do you hear me?" Shi Haowen warned the guards, he was afraid that the group of people would kill until their eyes turned red.

"Yes sir!" After shouting loudly, these people rushed into the village in one go.

But when Shi Haowen led the group of people into the village, they all became dumbstruck, and did not dare to charge forward and shout, because there were a large number of people standing in front of them, and all that was pointed at them were extremely sharp arrows.

Since this place relied on the mountains to feed the villagers, hunting was a necessity in life. As a result, almost every family, male, female, old, and young could draw their bows and shoot their arrows, traversing hundreds of miles with every step.

However, these were not what truly frightened Shi Haowen and the others, but the three sturdy old men who stood in front of the villagers. Although their hair had already turned white like snow, the muscles on their bodies seemed to be as sturdy as a middle-aged man's.

Facing such an existence, Shi Haowen and the others immediately felt a chill in their hearts, as if they had just been fished out of ice water. The sweat on their backs continuously flowed down, to the point that they were already regretting their decision to massacre the village.

If the opponent only had a single expert around the fifth rank, then the guards would be able to go all out against him. However, the opponent had three experts over the fifth rank, and this was not something they could contend against.

They were in charge of escorting the two taels of silver, they were afraid of exposing their whereabouts, but all the top experts in the Palace were being monitored by the Surveillance Council, making it impossible for them to deploy anyone, thus the one with the highest level of strength in the team would be the Guard Commander, his strength reaching the early stage of the fifth level. And after they head north, there would be the private army of the Ninth Prince who would support them at the agreed location, so even if they did not have any experts to protect them, they were not worried that something might happen along the way.

But at that moment, Shi Haowen wished that there was an expert who could take the lead, even if it meant bringing the Guard Commander over. It was just that he wished to give himself a chance to escape. Thinking about escaping, Shi Haowen subconsciously looked towards the direction of the village entrance behind him. It was fine if he did not look, but once he looked he jumped in shock, because he did not know when, the paths behind him had already been blocked by these mountain people.

"Aiya, what the heck!" Shi Haowen couldn't help but sigh in his heart. For a moment, he realized that the other party's shamelessness was not inferior to his, to the point where he could think of a way out of it.

"Speak, who are you people? Aren't you tired of living coming to harass us? " Amongst the three old men who were standing in front, one of them could not hold his temper the most, and was the first to berate.

When Shi Haowen heard that the other party did not attack them directly, but had instead started to 'interrogate' them, he immediately felt that there was a door for him. Under the strange gazes of the guards, he walked two steps forward, and just as the guards looked at him with faces full of admiration, they only saw Shi Haowen kneeling on the ground with a 'putt', and shouted loudly: "It's a misunderstanding, this is all a misunderstanding ?"

"Hmph, it's a misunderstanding. You guys came into the village with swords and sabers and you say it's a misunderstanding? Do you think I'm blind, or do you think you're retarded? " The old man on the other side retorted.

"This?" "When we travel in the martial arts world, we will inevitably carry swords and sabers with us. Is it pure self-defense?" Shi Haowen had forgotten that they were holding onto their swords and sabers as they rushed in. Now that they had reached a tacit understanding, they quickly hid their swords and sabers behind their backs.

The current Shi Haowen really wanted to slap himself twice, if only he had investigated him in advance, or else he would have the Guard Commander take the lead. At that time, if this happened, he would be able to sneakily escape, but now, it would be impossible for him to even think of running away. He really regretted that he had been too perverted and irrational to lead a group of people into the enemy's encirclement.

"Then why do you come here every two or three days?" The old man in the lead opened his mouth as well. Looking at the cowardly looks on their faces, he had some doubts for a moment.

"This is the first time we're here today!" Shi Haowen explained with a bitter smile. He was still wondering why his own group had accidentally found this village and wanted to find some food and entertainment. Now, forget about finding such things, it would be good enough for them to stay alive and return.

"Nonsense! The mountains are all around us, and no one would run here if they had nothing to do. I bet only outsiders like you would dare to spout nonsense in an area of fifty kilometers!" The grumpy old man who was the first to speak spoke again. His voice was loud like a bell, and his tone was filled with anger.

"I... We know we are at fault, please do us a favor and let us live! " Shi Haowen did not explain why he was here.

"It's fine if I don't kill you, but leave behind everything you have on you!" No one is allowed to keep a single one! " The old man in the lead said.

"This... We don't have anything on us! " Shi Haowen looked at his tattered clothes and felt that he was no different from a beggar.

"Did you take the initiative to leave behind all of your belongings? Or should we help them? " The second old man who spoke this time around also spoke up. After he finished speaking, there were actually some big and burly villagers who were preparing to attack. This action caused Shi Haowen to be shocked.

"Don't... We'll do it ourselves, we'll do it ourselves! " Shi Haowen hurriedly waved his hands to stop them, he then turned and shouted at his men: "You guys, quickly take off all the things on your bodies, quickly give it to me!"

"But master, we only have a few pieces of cloth left, do we still have to take them off?" A guard whispered.

"What are you saying? If I tell you to take it off, then take it off, quickly!" snapped unhappily. At this time, he had regained his vigor, and was no longer obedient.

Thus, under the gazes of everyone, the 'Rumbling Heaven' group of 'strippers' began their prelude.

If they could make a move now, they would definitely want to slash this guy to death. Not only was he afraid of death, he was also extremely shameless.

Even though they were discussing about it wholeheartedly, they still had to take it off. At the very least, preserving their lives was the most important. Just as they were taking off their close-fitting boxers, they heard a loud shout from outside the village. Although the voice was not loud, it did not scare them, but the content caused Shi Haowen and the rest to crumble.

What did he shout? He actually scared the envoy of the Duke Palaces to the point that he peed his pants?
